The development was going on in the open branch, and I've been sending the
diff on the new sendfile constantly during this year. Last time I sent the
diff, the discussion very quickly moved to Lua in kernel, script(2) and
other buzz, actually ignoring my review and test request and hijacking
my thread:

Yes, Alfred did ask me why can't this be accomplished with socket
upcalls, and replied I to him, but discussion ended there:

Probably the script(2) topic was more appealing.

If you don't mind, I will make a separate replies on your actual
technical questions.
